Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Inside the firewood room, Gu Xiaonans vacant gaze quickly regained its l.u.s.ter.

He glanced at the hemp rope on his body and pursed his lips. They thought they could tie me up with such a small rope? They really dont regard me, Gu Xiaonan, highly.

With a gentle tug, the hemp rope snapped.

He called out to Qianxi a few times, but Qianxi remained motionless.

Just then, there was movement on the roof.

Gu Xiaonan immediately looked up, alert.

Xiaonan, are you both okay?

It was Feng Yuanxi!

Gu Xiaonan stood up and brushed off the dust from his b.u.t.tocks. Im fine, but Qianxi hasnt woken up yet.

Feng Yuanxi said, Let her stay here for now. The firewood room is locked. You can climb down from the roof. They wont spot you. Lets go deal with those who harmed you.

Alright! Gu Xiaonan nodded.

Feng Yuanxi moved aside a roof tile, revealing an opening that a person could pa.s.s through. He lowered a rope.

Wait for me a moment. Ill set up a formation to prevent any bad guys from coming in and harming Qianxi.

He worked in the firewood room for a while, ensuring everything was in order. Afterward, he clapped his hands and walked over to the rope.

A faint light flickered in Feng Yuanxis hand as the rope swiftly pulled Gu Xiaonan up.

Xiaobai excitedly jumped into his arms.

Gu Xiaonan patted it and looked around. The vast estate seemed endless. This is the Fifth Princes residence. Its definitely that ugly Fifth Prince whos causing us trouble! Lets split up and find him. Whoever finds him will deal with him. Well meet back at the firewood room later.

Alright! Feng Yuanxi nodded.

The two of them separated to take action.

Gu Xiaonan carried Xiaobai as they jumped down from the roof, wandering around the Fifth Princes estate.

His small stature and agility allowed him to easily avoid the servants in the mansion.

After circling around for a while, he faintly heard the Fifth Princes voice, but something felt off.

He followed the sound and saw someone guarding the door. He flew to the rooftop, lifted a tile, and peered inside.

Oh, Your Highness, please dont

A womans scream echoed from the room.

Startled, Gu Xiaonan trembled, almost falling from the roof.

Steadying himself, he frowned, watching the scene inside.

Gu Xiaonan wasnt sure what they were doing, but whatever it was made him feel nauseous.

And this repugnant man dared to propose to Mother?

Gu Xiaonan curled his lips in disdain.

A woman lay on the bed, her seductive gaze casually sweeping over. Suddenly, she noticed an eye on the roof and quickly pulled the blanket to cover her body. Ah! Whos there!

Oh no!

He was discovered!

Without much thought, Gu Xiaonan took several vials from his spatial storage and hurled them into the room.

Boom!

Under the influence of his arcane power, the vials exploded, filling the room with colorful powder.

What is this? Cough, cough!

It stinks! Be careful, it might be poisonous!

Chaos erupted in the room, and the womens shrieks echoed like a chorus of ducks in a pond.

Qitian Yu, upon hearing the mistresss cry, raised his head alertly. Before he could identify the peeping culprit, he sensed that something was wrong with the smell of the powder. He jumped off the bed, grabbed a piece of clothing, and rushed outside, shouting, Guards, catch the a.s.sa.s.sin!

The guards, uncertain whether they should rush in to protect their master, immediately found their direction upon hearing the command. They wielded their weapons and went to apprehend the intruder.

A streak of blue darted across the roof.

Qitian Yu rushed out of the room, catching sight of a fluttering garment. He pointed in that direction and commanded, Over there, pursue!

More guards arrived. Your Highness, are you alright?

Seeing Qitian Yu in disarray, the incoming guards involuntarily gasped.

I

Qitian Yus words were cut short as his stomach suddenly emitted a rumble, followed by a sensation of tightness in his lower abdomen..
